What is the maximum number of people that can be in a training room?

Maximum occupancy is set by your local fire code based on room square footage and use type — assembly use (which includes training rooms) is typically calculated at 15 sq ft per person under IBC codes for maximum density, or 40 sq ft per person for less-dense educational use. The posted occupancy limit is a legal maximum, not an ergonomic recommendation — for comfortable training, allow 25–30 sq ft per person. Your building's fire marshal sets the posted occupancy limit and must be consulted before exceeding it.
